this is why i think replacing the mac minus Umass will work the best.... the only odd would be whoever replaced Miami would have UCinci as a rival...

also you can have montana if you want to join, my friend is cool with taking MSU

I dont know if I would have time, i'm a teacher and school starts back up soon and also coach volleyball.

Replacing the Mac doesnt necessarily work either because Buffalo doesnt have any MAC conference rivals...like I said I ahve done extensive 'research' as to how to keep good rivals together without having to take out schools that are even in the top 90 barely (according to this years Lindy's rankings)

I think replacing the MAC might work the best

the 3 michigans out for the 3 Bay areas (CP, UCD, Sac St)

then most of the others are pairs

MSU-montana
PSU-EWU
WSU-ISU

NAU, SUU, and NC dont really have intense rivalries

then replace a few sunbelt schools to work out those pairings... ill bet you have a great idea

[wiscowilz]

Teams to replace suggestions:

Army/Navy: two teams will remain rivals.
ULL/ULM: two teams will remain rivals.
Texas State/UTSA: two teams will remain rivals

Akron/Kent State: two teams will remain rivals
Bowling Green/Toledo: two teams will remain rivals
NIU/Ball State: two teams will remain rivals

I think WKU/MTSU will keep only them as rivals but whoever you replace with MTSU might remain rivals with Troy.

If you want groups of three: (in this order)
Central Michigan/Eastern Michigan/Western Michigan: Central Michigan replacement remains rivals with both others, but the other two dont remain rivals...I replaced them in this order in my offline dynasty...Montana, Montana State, Eastern Washington...Montana was rivals with both but MSu and EWU were NOT.

WKU/MTSU/Troy: MTSU rivals with both other teams.

Hope this kind of helps you figure out who you want to replace and still be able to keep other conferences decent.

BTW you can take my name off Montana, I just wont have the time to commit to it at the beginning of the school year.

Even if they dont have regular rivals you dont want them with random ones across country.

According to wikipedia NAU is protected rivals with both Southern Utah and Northern Colorado but the other two arent so I would suggest the following...MTSU (NAU), WKU (Southern Utah), Troy (N.Col)

Also if you get rid of all the MAC schools you dont have enough for a conference.

Here are my suggestions for you:
Eastern/Central/Western Michigan (CP, UCD, Sac St)...doesnt really matter as they wont all remain rivals with each other only with one team.

ULL/ULM: Montana/MSU
Akron/Kent State: PSU/EWU
Army/Navy: WSU/ISU

MTSU: NAU
WKU: Southern Utah
Troy: N.Col.


This will keep plenty of teams in both the MAC and Sun Belt and should leave only your Big Sky Schools as rivals with each other...its exactly what I replaced in my offline one where I replaced those 12 with 12 FCS schools across the country and the rivalries worked out.

I wouldnt mind replacing all those lower level schools, but Army/Navy just seems wrong lol. But in the end, if thats whats necessary to do it, then it is what it is.

Could replace Bowling Green and Toledo instead and should give the same result
